I'm a wee bit late to the party here, but fans of Accross and Elastomania may be interested in X-Moto. Link leads to the Wikipedia page, btw.

After playing with the full version for a few hours i think This game deserves to be known. I hope eurogamer reviews it. Its like crack on wheels!!!

It feels very trackmania to me <3 <3 <3

Uh, for some reason my Stunt Bike-link went to the wrong game. Here’s the one I wanted to link to:

Essentially it’s Manic Miner with a bike. Sort of.

The Peggle is the RPS unit of filesize measurement, also this videogame.

I just took 6 minutes to finish a level that most of the leaderboard appear to have completed in around 35 seconds.

Tis great.

Yeah, it’s a REALLY old concept. Annoyingly, I can’t actually remember who did it first.

Kieron: If you want to go even further back, you can check Stunt Bike: http://www.lemon64.com/?game_id=2517 . Same basic concept.

Having said that, this game is almost exactly like Across/Elastomania, only with modern graphics, a couple of cool new features and slightly less insane tracks. And that is of course a good thing. :-)

Looks like a mobile game I once tested… my eyes never recovered

The engine was actually based on a molecular physics simulation engine which always made me laugh.

It’s a really old-skool game idea – try the Kick Start link in the story. Good to see modern updates though.
